>>Although the case in question deals with mp3 players, the proposed
solution to Bug #68924 is to allow renaming volumes on right click:

bug a duplicate of Bug #68924; if this is not what you want, please
explain how what you want is different.
The scope in Bug #68924 is quite narrow and the explanation doesn't even
propose a solution. I accept that the end result of solving the issue
might be the same for both bugs, but I also understand that the other
bug sounds like a particular side annoyance that doesn't affect too many
users, while my description shows that there's a much broader need for
this to be fixed. If marking "my" bug as a duplicate of the other makes
it "invisible" along with the proposed solution, that's bad for the
community. If there's one and only one bug to describe the problem and
proposing a solution, the definitely that's not Bug #68924. Just mark
that other one as a duplicate!
>>The people fixing this bug are users just like you.
No you're not, as long as you have the power to hide, ignore or any other way
decide about my ideas/proposals/opinions.
>>We are not ignoring your reasons or belittling you, we just don't understand
>>how your bug is different from Bug #68924.
I thought the explanation was good enough at the very description of the bug,
but I hope I have explained it further now.

Granted: GPB ;-) Not an insult. Just a funny remark.

I hope there's no need to repeat -again, again, again- not every
Ubuntu/Gnome/Linux user is a programmer. I've described a procedure in five
simple steps ("simplistic" is *your* insult, I guess). As far as I know,
implementing a Nautilus script doing them sholdn't be rocket science and well
inside the scope of the "papercut" idea.
Of course, fixing it in a "deeper" way might involve recoding some
pieces of the system, but since this is not going to happen (the problem
has been there for years now), any simplistic approach is way better
than no approach at all.
